Hook in person business networking 15th January 2026

Welcome to our Hook business networking in person group.

If you do business in the Hook area of Hampshire or surrounding area we’d love to meet you.

Your host is expert networker, Claire Johnson of Bluebell Bookkeeping and Admin.. Claire knows what it’s like to walk into a room full of strangers and will make you feel welcome from arrival, or even before,

Grow your business network in Hook and beyond

There’s an old saying that it’s not what you know but who you know that counts. We agree. Our aim is to create the best connections in Hook and surrounding areas. Connections to people who will support you and your business. They might become your customers, your advocates and, very likely, your friends.

Fabulous Networking is a membership organisation, but visitors are always welcome. We don’t restrict attendance by profession or gender. We believe that there are opportunities to be gained by working with our competitors. Try out up to three of our events before deciding if you’d like to join.

Your attendance fee is £15 (£12 for members) to cover venue and light refreshments.

A typical Hook agenda

Our agenda is structured but flexible to respond to the needs and size of the group on the day.

• Informal networking with light refreshments
• Take your seats for the structured part of the meeting
• Introductions to all present
• Speaker, this month… Marianne Tyndall
• Discussion, hot seat or business activity
• Wrap up

Introduction round

We vary our introductions each month to keep them fresh and interesting whilst building our understanding of your business.

In January…What’s your big ambition for 2026 and how can we help you to achieve it? This article may help your thinking,

Support, learning and inspiration are three of our core values and will be woven through the meeting. We want you to leave feeling it was a morning well spent. We also like to have fun and laughter is never far from the surface.

Your speaker

Marianne Tyndall is a solicitor specialising in family and employment law. She works at Baker Law in Farnham. She is a Mum to two boys and a service wife. She’s also a school governor and an active member of her netball club. Marianne is going to be speaking about divorce on what is usually the busiest day for filing post Christmas divorce petitions.

Your host

Claire Johnson is the driving force behind Bluebell Bookkeeping and Admin. She is an avid networker and a big believer that working with your competitors has many advantages.

Our venue

We’re meeting at the Coach and Horses in Rotherwick, a lovely country pub on the outskirts of Hook. There’s ample parking but if you need help with transport please email Glenda and we’ll try to connect you to a lift.

Reasons for attending.

• For many, business is especially tough at the moment, it helps to be surrounded by people who ‘get it’ but who will lift you up and help you to stay positive.
• The connections you make today can lead to the business you do, if not tomorrow, then in the coming months and years….

It was a fab meeting! Always lovely to chat and learn at the same time Charlotte Haye

What a lovely group . . . like every Fabulous Networking group. We had a great session ** capturing everyone’s learning from the networking that they have done. So many tips and hints. Ian Crocker
